Catznip Beta

Catznip Release : R12.2

Platform Notes

Win.png Windows : If you are already using a beta version please give the auto updater a chance. If it fails please report and see the group for direct links.

Linux.png Linux : The auto update in versions prior to R9.0.11 might fail, See group notices for DL.

Apple.png OSX : No R9 beta in the near future due to a blocking issue.

R9.0.11

R9.0.11 brings us very very close to being able to declare this round done, beyond any last minute blockers we anticipate that Beta R9.0.13 will become the new Catznip R9.0 public release.

This update vastly improves the updater on both Windows and Linux providing feedback while the update is being downloaded. Beta R9.0.12 is intended to test this and will be pushed in a few days time.

VERY IMPORTANT : See Catznip JIRA for known issues. Please submit ALL bugs no matter how trivial. Bugs taken for granted at this stage could easily be overlooked and end up in release!

Login Page

Thoughts on this set-up. Is a wiki page useful (keeping in mind we don't allow public editing of our wiki), would a blog or subreddit be better. Totally up for suggestions at this point. The provide feedback button that we use on the regular wiki doesn't work in the viewer, so don't use that >>>>>

All Preferences

We've been having a major play in the prefs, especially Chat and Sound. Please test everything.

  • The intent is for the Catznip tab to eventually be phased out entirely.
  • We don't want to show every option, just the important ones.
  • Tooltips : All prefs options that are directly keyed to a debug setting use the debug setting text as a tooltip (we understand this is English only at this point).

Translations

Pretty much all of the translations in the viewer need checking. We have had some feedback that the quality varies from acceptable to dire. We have tried to keep Linden translations as far as possible for all UI changes but know that's not an ideal solution. For now could changes and corrections be passed to Trinity Dejavu on a notecard. We will come up with something a bit more collaborative in the near future. Please, no google/machine translation.
